I have windows XP Home Edition and so does my daughter in
law and we are having the same problem. When the computer
is booted up and the desktop comes up Internet Explorer
opens automatically and opens a website called
www.fetishadultbouncer.com\ the tries to install a program
from mediatickets.com. This happens everytime you reboot
the computer. Please help!!!! I think there is a virus on
my computer and hers also a freinds computer is doing the
same thing. I have deleted all the cookies and all the
temporary internet files and it keeps coming back.
 
Hi Mandy,
This is caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
listed in red.)
